Comments about CamelBak Vantage FT 35 Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz.:

CamelBak said, "With its separate zippered opening, the reservoir can be easily refilled without removing it from the pack...". Easily filled? Not true! In fact, it's nearly impossible to fill/refill, even with the wide mouth, unless you stick your fingers inside the bladder to hold it open! The zippered opening is too short, making it very difficult enough to pour in water. It would be great if you could slide the bladder out of the pack to fill it, but you can't, because it is attached to the inside of the pack by a 1" string (you can't cut the string because it is there to hold the bladder in place). So, you are forced to leave the bladder inside it's compartment and because the zippered opening is so small, you have just a narrow window to try to pour the water through. The wide mouth is a Godsend, but still a lot of water went into the backpack, which I didn't know at the time.

The first time I used the pack, I also put 4 ea. of their "Elixir" tablets (provides electrolytes, vitamins and minerals) into the bladder after I filled it. I then walked into my living room to turn off the T.V., still holding the pack in my right hand, when I felt something wet on my bare feet. I looked down to see a puddle of water on the carpet. At first, I thought the bladder was leaking or that I didn't secure the cap properly. After holding it over the kitchen sink for a few minutes to drain, trying to figure out where the water was coming from, I realized that it must have happened when I was trying to fill it. It wasn't leaking, but a lot of water just didn't make it into the bladder when I was filling it, because of the small window.

This could have been the perfect day pack--holds lots of water, very light weight, extremely comfortable and sturdily made. CamelBak needs to make the bladder compartment zipper go all the way around the pack, just like the main compartment zipper does. This way you can easily fill the bladder without making a mess or having to stick your fingers inside the bladder to hold it open.

I returned it. I hope that CamelBak will read this review. If they just lengthen the zipper as per my suggestion, it will be the perfect pack!

Comments about CamelBak Vantage FT 35 Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz.:

Camel Bak puts out good stuff. However I can see why they discontinued this model. It was poorly designed. The bladder will leak just as the previous post mentioned. Then when I had to replace the bladder, when the pack was filled with my equipment, you cannot remove it! If your hands are petite enough and you do manage to remove it, you fill it, and then can't get it back in the pack. I had rig up a system, and carry an external reservoir. It was a mess, but I managed for one trip. Worst $100+ bucks I ever spent. Do Not Buy!
